The number of the real roots of the equation $2\cos (x(x + 1)) = 2^x + 2^{-x}$ is

If $f(x + 2) = f(x) + f(x + 1)$ for all positive integers $x$, and $f(11) = 91$, $f(15) = 617$, then $f(10)$ equals

Consider a function $f$ satisfying $f(\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y})=f(\mathrm{x}) \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{y})$ where $x , y$ are positive integers, and $f(1)=2$. If $f(\mathrm{a}+1)+f(\mathrm{a}+2)+\ldots \ldots+f(\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{n})=$ $16\left(2^{n}-1\right)$ then a is equal to
